Welcome to the podcast for alpaca people! Like all of us, alpacas thrive on familarity and the expected plus variety now and again. What kind of variety could you bring to the mix for your alpacas. Listen in and let me share some thoughts. These include what they need as basics - food, water, shelter. But also stimulation and interest. They are naturally curious and delight in something new. Rita Soares of Campo Verde Alpacas in Australia used a collection of unusual objects in the alpaca field to see what they thought about them. Intersting results. Check out her Instagram feed for the answers and an idea for you to try out. Instagram reel with strange objects in the field Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoyed it.

Welcome to the podcast for alpaca people! In this episode, I reflect on how much of our life is outside of our control. This includes our alpacas for sure. Though there are some things that help.

Welcome to the podcast for alpaca people! Happy holidays to one and all. The gift of keeping alpacas is amazing and lasts all year. How can we give back? What can we get better at? How do we do it?

Welcome to the podcast for alpaca people! In this episode, I went in search of Normal and found it in Illinois! Alpacas here are mostly normal but we did have a visitor who left the gate open and the alpacas free to wander off down the road. No damage done. Have a listen to my musings and if you can, go spend some time with your own alpacas watching out for normal. Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoyed it.

Welcome to the podcast for alpaca people! Another storm - Darragh - hit the valley and made some impact. High winds, rain and a power cut. We lost some trees to the 80 mph winds but no serious damage to house or stable. Today was very quiet and I found myself on my own and feeling on my own - the valley was quiet and empty. Most of the time it doesn't feel quite so empty. I feel connected. It was a good reminder at this time of year to reconnect and strengthen the connections we have with our friends, family and environment. Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoyed it.

Welcome to the podcast for alpaca people! Alpacas are mysterious creatures. We get to know them but they still surprise us with their mysterious ways. 'Why do they do that?' becomes 'Why do they sometimes do that?'. I have three questions that might help: Is it me? Is it them? Is it something in the local environment? Megan spat in my ear again. She doesn't always but sometimes I get surprised. Winter continues to settle in and make itself at home. Listen in for a valley update. Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoyed it.

Welcome to the podcast for alpaca people! We knew to expect some colder weather but thought we were on the edge of the weather alert area. Maybe not. It started cold and frosty but then came some snow. Now it was not that bad really - just a surprise. The first real cold weather of the season is always like that. Keep an eye on the water - checking for ice. And think about some extra food that will give quick energy to help the alpacas stay warm. Think about your own layers too. Video clip from the archives of alpacas in the snow https://vimeo.com/1031697533/5958f52021 This was how the alpacas greeted their first snow - a number of years ago now but still so memorable.

Welcome to the podcast for alpaca people! In this episode, I sit in the sun and think alpacas, and swans, and herons and the rest. No one ready for breakfast when I first went down to feed them - no one at home. But they heard me and came ready for clearing the troughs. Cold mornings make for hungry alpacas. Birds about today on a beautiful, clear, bright, sunny, still day with low sun. Ravens have a lovely call. Watch what is going on in your place and your season. Spend some time with your alpacas if you can and breathe... Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoyed it.

Welcome to the podcast for alpaca people! Feeding alpacas can be fun and sometimes challenging. Always a great opportunity to catch up with how your herd is doing and what is going on. Also, it can add to the positive experiences they have of you as a safe person to be around. Of course, sometimes there is more than you bargain for. I have been musing about what makes a good alpaca. Particularly relevant if you are thinking of adding alpacas to your life or your herd. One factor among many is how sociable they are. Will they get on with the others you will be introducing them to? Are they going to be easy to manage? Often you can't be sure until later and see how they grow. We gather the information we can. Ask the relevant questions and make the best decision we can. What would you look for in an alpaca? Let me know by dropping me a line. Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoyed it.
